Why Use Native Plants?

  *   They grow with minimal use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides.

  *   Wildlife species have evolved with these plants and use them as their habitat.

  *   They are adapted to local soil, rainfall, and temperature conditions.

  *   They have developed natural defenses to many insects and diseases.

  *   Using native plants helps preserve the balance and beauty of natural ecosystems.

All proceeds go to enrich learning opportunities for Hyattsville Elementary School students.
